I've spent a few days (on and off) designing and fabricating my rear tube
bumper. It will also hold my Hi-Lift Jack as well. I'm not sure
if a CJ tailgate will clear the jack, but will investigate when I get to
that point. It is 2" x 3" and has two D-Rings points and a 2"
receiver. 2011/04/08 |

I've also spent the same few days (on and off) mounting the Super Winch, and
modifying the Push Bar to clear it. With the 1" body lift, the
parking/turn lights are a little high, but OK. The modification to the
Bull bar included notching the top tube to clear the control box and provide
clearance for the engage/disengage lever, as well as modifying the lower
mount point to allow the bard to mount on top of the winch plate.

Installed the rear bumper (after the paint dried overnight) and took a few
finished pictures. After a short drive I re-measured the front, and
between some spring settling and the winch weight, the front settled about
0.5", so I'm now setting about 1.25" higher at the bumper than when I bought
the Jeep (from 18.75" to 20"). If I need a little of that back in the
future, I'll go with some small lift shackles in the front. 2011-04-09 |

I installed the new rear bump stops (darn rust and broken bolts), as well as
the Lock-Right. The Lock-Right I picked up in a complete rear axle
along with two more rear axle shafts and drive shaft. So I now have a
rear locker and four spare rear axles and a drive shaft. I also checked the
front differential, and the oil was clean and full. I then drained and
re-filled the transmition with fresh ATF+4. 2011-04-11 |
